Default What tools to carry

Hey guys a am finally getting my machine ready for spring trail riding and I didn't get a tool kit with my Sportsman.

So what tools do you guys carry with these machines? I have a little air compressor and plug kit also a tow rope.

Thanks guys

I take a Glock 33, air comp., tow rope, plug kit, rags, toilet paper, vise grips, crescent wrench, scredrivers, assorted wrenches, ratchet and sockets, folding saw, clippers, knife, duct tape, bags, first aid kit, MRE, cell, and depending on where I'm going GPS. I'm sure I take a few other things but this should cover the basics.

Mornin Hobbles I live in Southern Ontario.

Thanks Rowe that is basically what I was think for tools except the Glock. We are not allowed to carry hand guns up here.

Hey Zooman, on early-in-the-year trips I take a chainsaw. Usually have a few layers of clothing on in the morning and have a structured soft side bag for the clothes as I don't need layers. Carry extra gas, a Leatherman type tool, folding pruning saw for small trees, have a winch on both quads for bigger ones, ****** block pulley to double line pull, slime, plugs and glue, inflators, lighter, snacks to keep blood sugar up in an emergency, maps of area riding in, compass, hex and torx wrenches, always ride with someone else...
